1 Investigations on Atmospheric Acceleration of Energetic Electrons by ERG and SCOPE Wing-Huen Ip Institutes of Space Science and Astronomy National Central University March 17, 2009

2 Outline TGFs TLEs Saturn: Extreme Electrostatic Charging Jupiter: Recirculation Process of MeV Electrons Earth: The Russel-McPherron Effect Space Weather

3 Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs)

4 Terrestrail Gamma-ray Flashes: CGRO-BATSE Observations NASA Compton Gamma-ray Observatory (CGRO) BATSE detected atmospheric gamma-ray bursts at 10’s MeV (Fishman et al. 1994) Close association with thunderstorm and lightning activity (Inan et al., 1996) Events lasted for a few mseconds to few tens of mseconds Fishman et al., Science, 264, 1313, 1994

5 RHESSI observations of TGFs RHESSI showed seasonal and geographic correlation of TGFs with lightning hot spots (Smith et al., 2005) Smith et al., Science, 307, 1085, 2005

6 ~17% of TGFs detected by CGRO/BATSE have been reclassified to be 30 MeV electrons/positrons (Dwyer et al., 2008) Smith et al., Science, 307, 1085, 2005

7 Theory Relativistic runaway electron beams driven upward by intense QE field following positive cloud-to-ground discharges (Gurevich et al., Phys. Lett., A, 165, 463, 1992) DC electric field ~ potential drop of about 30 MV (Tonev and Velinov, Adv. Space Res., 31, 1443, 2003)

8 Transient Luminous Events (LTEs)
